And, the first transverse plate 421 inclines downward from back to front, so that the liquid on the first transverse plate 421 slides down to the second water collecting groove 431 under the action of its own gravity.

Preferably, the projection of the first transverse plate 421 in the vertical direction is located in the second water collecting groove 431, so that the liquid falling from the first transverse plate 421 can enter the second water collecting groove 431.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the plurality of second transverse plates 422 are sequentially distributed below the first transverse plate 421 from top to bottom. The base 41 is further provided with at least one ventilation opening 412, and a second transverse plate 422 is arranged above each ventilation opening 412. And each second transverse plate 422 inclines downwards from back to front, so that the second transverse plates 422 can visually shield at least one part of the wind ventilation opening 412, a user is prevented from directly observing the ventilation opening 412, and the attractiveness of the refrigerator is guaranteed.

Optionally, the included angle between the second transverse plate 422 and the vertical direction is in a range of 10 ° to 60 ° (e.g., 10 °, 12 °, 15 °, 25 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, etc.), so that the projection of the second transverse plate 422 on the front side surface of the base 41 covers at least half of the corresponding vent 412 (e.g., covers the upper half of the vent 412), so that the vent 412 can be visually shielded by the second transverse plate 422, and the vent 412 is prevented from being directly observed by a user, thereby improving the aesthetic property of the refrigerator.

Preferably, the second transverse plate 422 is angled at 25 ° from vertical to allow the second transverse plate 422 to visually obscure the vent 412 while ensuring the venting capability of the vent 412.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that although the second transverse plate 422 is shown in fig. 2 to 4 as a flat plate structure, the second transverse plate 422 may be provided as any other feasible structure, such as an arc plate, on the premise that the second transverse plate 422 ensures the ventilation capability of the ventilation opening 412 and also visually shields the ventilation opening 412.

Further optionally, the inclination angles of the first and second transverse plates 421 and 422 are the same; and/or the length, width and thickness of the first 421 and second 422 transverse plates are also the same.

As shown in fig. 2 to 5, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water receiving tray 44 is disposed at the rear side of the bottom of the base 41, so that the water receiving tray 44 is hidden. Further, a water receiving groove 441 is formed in the water receiving tray 44. Preferably, the drip tray 44 is positioned below the vent 412.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, a person skilled in the art may also set the water pan 44 on the front side of the base body 41 as needed.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, a plurality of flow guide channels 413 as flow guide structures are further provided on the base body 41, and the flow guide channels 413 extend from top to bottom as a whole. Further, the flow guide channel 413 includes a first water inlet 4131 formed on a side wall or a bottom wall of the first water collecting groove 411, a second water inlet 4132 formed on a side wall or a bottom wall of the second water collecting groove 431, and a water outlet 4133 formed on a side wall or a bottom wall of the water receiving groove 441, so that the liquid in the first water collecting groove 411 enters the flow guide channel 413 through the first water inlet 4131, the liquid in the second water collecting groove 431 enters the flow guide channel 413 through the second water inlet 4132, and the liquid in the flow guide channel 413 flows into the water receiving groove 441 through the water outlet 4133.

Preferably, the first water inlet 4131 is formed on the bottom wall of the first water collecting groove 411, the second water inlet 4132 is formed on the rear sidewall of the second water collecting groove 431 (i.e., the front side of the base 41), and the water outlet 4133 is formed on the front sidewall of the water receiving groove 441 (i.e., the rear side of the base 41).

It is further preferable that the height of the inner bottom surface of the first water collecting tank 411 is gradually decreased in a direction close to the first water inlet 4131, and thus the inner bottom surface of the first water collecting tank 411 is made substantially wavy or corrugated. The height of the inner bottom surface of the second water collecting groove 431 is gradually reduced in a direction close to the second water inlet 4132, and thus the inner bottom surface of the second water collecting groove 431 is made to be substantially wavy or corrugated.

As can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, two vertical beams are respectively disposed on two sides of each of the ventilation openings 412 in the left-right direction, and the aforementioned flow guide passage 413 is formed in at least a part of the vertical beams.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, a person skilled in the art may also set the diversion channel 413 to any feasible diversion structure, such as an inclined opening slot, a pipeline connecting the first water collecting tank 411 and the second water collecting tank 431 with the water receiving tank 441 respectively, and the like, as required.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, when the door 20 and/or the drawer 30 is opened, liquid (e.g., condensed water) dropped therefrom may drop on the top surface of the base 41 and/or the first lateral plate 421. The upper liquid on the top surface of the base 41 is collected into the first water collecting tank 411, and then flows to the first water inlet 4131 as shown by the arrow in fig. 4 and 5, and flows into the flow guide passage 413. The liquid on the first transverse plate 421 falls into the second water collecting groove 431 under the action of its own gravity, and then flows to the second water inlet 4132 as shown by the arrow in fig. 4 and 5, thereby flowing into the flow guide passage 413. Further, the liquid in the guide passage 413 flows into the water receiving groove 441 in the water receiving tray 44 as shown by arrows in fig. 4 and 5.

Therefore, the utility model discloses kicking foot device 40 in some embodiments can assemble the water receiving tank 441 of bottom with the liquid on its top surface to overcome and gathered the dust in the liquid absorption air on kicking foot device 40 surface, influenced the problem of kicking foot device 40 outward appearance.

As can be understood by those skilled in the art, when the refrigerator is ventilated by the kick device 40, the ventilation opening 412 is close to the water receiving groove 441, so that the air flowing at the ventilation opening 412 accelerates the evaporation of the liquid in the water receiving groove 441, and the situation that the liquid in the water receiving groove 441 overflows to the ground due to too much liquid is avoided.

In addition, in the present invention, the water collecting groove 401 can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to the specific structure and size of the kick device 40. For example, only the first water collecting groove 411 or the second water collecting groove 431 remains.

As an example one, in other embodiments shown in fig. 6 and 7, the height of the top surface of the substrate 41 is gradually reduced from the rear side of the substrate 41 to the front side of the substrate 41, so that the liquid on the top surface of the substrate 41 falls into the second water trap 431 on the deflector 43 completely under the action of its own gravity. Accordingly, the first water collecting groove 411 is not provided on the base 41, and the guide passage 413 is not provided with the first water inlet 4131.

In other embodiments shown in fig. 6 and 7, the top surface of the base 41 may optionally be inclined at the same angle as the first transverse plate 421. Further alternatively, the top surface of the base 41 is engaged with the top surface of the first transverse plate 421 to form a slope.

As an example two, the height of the top surface of the base 41 in the example one may be gradually increased from the rear side of the base 41 to the front side of the base 41, so that the liquid on the top surface of the base 41 directly slides backwards into the water receiving groove 441 under the action of its own gravity.

As example three, although not shown in the figures, it is possible to dispense with the provision of the flow guide plate 43 and to dispense with the flow guide channel 413 with the second water inlet 4132, respectively. Alternatively, the thickness of the substrate 41 in the front-rear direction is increased so that the top surface of the substrate 41 has a sufficient width to receive more liquid.

In conclusion, the skirting device 40 of the present invention not only prevents condensed water from accumulating on the top thereof, but also overcomes the problem that the condensed water accumulating on the top surface of the skirting device 40 adsorbs dust in the air, which affects the appearance of the skirting device 40; but also promotes evaporation of the condensed water in the water receiving tank 411.

So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the foregoing embodiments, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without deviating from the technical principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can split and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and also can make equivalent changes or substitutions for related technical features, and any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the technical concept and/or technical principle of the present invention will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
